Walking the Battle of Ypres

Historian Mat McLachlan explores the town of Ypres, scene of some of the bloodiest fighting of the First World War.

In this exclusive documentary, Mat explores the rebuilt Cloth Hall, a chapel that was built as a shrine to lost soldiers, the Menin Gate Memorial with its 54,000 names of missing soldiers, secret rooms in the town's ramparts, a beautiful waterside cemetery and a very special commemoration service that has been held every night for nearly a century.
